I think it is a great idea to build new tracks and allow more spectators to take part in this amazing sport. Plus, F1 will gain even more recognition. So it's all good.

OK, even if we say that IOC will, somehow, manage to get the finances [and that's a BIG somehow], it is impossible to come up with a new track with proper infrastructure in place, within 2 years. The only possibility is having street-race and simultaneously building a new track. But again that's double whammy as far as finances goes. As we see it, if IOC wants to stick to 2009 deadlines, it's going to be a street-race. And if IOC wants to build a new circuit first and held the race, well, I won't even give a timeline for it.

The IOA has to set this all up for 2009, as well as holding the Commonwealth games in 2010- there is simply not enough money. This is never going to happen.
